It SHOULD be considered a utility, period. Telephone is a utility, defined by its public necessity; and so has Internet become a necessity.
Autoweek: Now that's how a review should be written--clear, concise, factual, and with the author's feelings and impressions at the end, properly attributed and separated from the facts.
Had Broder done his article like that, NONE of this would have happened, period.
You want I hate more than the cowards that have their heads stuck up the media companies asses? Websites that feel it necessary to slap you with annoying popup ads that are designed to annoy the FUCK out of people, and encourage false clicks.
And that link leads right to a site that repeats the info already stated here, word-for-word, which is less than useful; and the ad situation makes it a NO CLICK ZONE.
DO. NOT. CLICK. THE. SLOG. LINK!!
BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Spammer spamming "adults[sic] websites" blocking software, when the ENTIRE thread is about the ISP doing the blocking!
Idiot spammers being idiots. And spammers.
Re: What can we do?
in these dark days, there are only two means of influence on the judges/DAs/etc:
1. a fat check (or promise of job, etc)...
2. GUNS AND AMMO
the rest of the stuff -voting, writing letters, media campaigns, etc- are all inoperable...

Nah, I was responding to the ac directly below you
Perhaps we should just stop, let this and other bogus laws go into place; and then just sit back and wait for the cowards to start screaming like little babies when they get tagged for allegedly "illegal" content.
I am going to LAUGH MY ASS OFF, when you get busted for "content infringement".
It'll be even funnier, knowing its your overlords putting it to you.

YEAH! BUNCHA FRIGGIN STEALING PINKO COMMIE FAGGOTS!!
How dare they!! I can't believe that STEAL! How DARE they take money from the mouths of those poor suffering industry execs, with their INDEPENDENT publishing and INTERNET!
PIIIIIRRAAAAACYYYYYY!!!! oogaboogaBOO!
:rolleyes:
Wow, thanks.. I think you're the first person here to thank me for anything!!
Thank you, Ayatollah Adolf Stalin Pol Pot Hitler, we really appreciate your "insightful"** comments.

The latest thinking is that the Amerindians of the eastern US actually immigrated from western Europe, either via coastal glacial formations, or by boat following said coastline, and that they hit the area about the same time as the ones that came over via Alaska and the Bering ice bridge.
The reason Bluray hasn't taken off is simple cost: when DVD costs less than half a comparable bluray, and the average eyes can't see the quality difference, then it's a no-brainer, and it ain't gonna be bluray.
Sony's Betamax lost to VHS simply because Sony priced themselves right out of the market. HD-DVD is a special case, because they were already well on their way to domination, akin to VHS, when Sony and their cronies bought them out, and firmly entrenched bluray in the US at least--and it was all over "content control".
And that's the other shoe hitting the floor: people do not want some nameless/faceless/soulless corporation telling them what they can watch, and when.
****I**** choose when to watch what I want to watch; if I EVER put any disc of mine into my player, and get some bullshit message telling me I cannot watch what I LEGALLY purchased: I will then figure out a way to crack the encryption and copy the disk to DVD or HD-DVD; I will then take the bluray out of the player, snap it into a bunch of pieces, wipe my freshly-shitted ass with each of them, place one piece each into letters sent to the publishers, the "enforcement nazis", the president, and any other anti-fair-use idiot I can think of, to show them EXACTLY what I think of their bullshit.
And if ever printed books do this, they will get the same fucking treatment.
To the anti-fair-use jackasses: it's NOT about "piracy"; it's about RIGHTS, as in MY RIGHT TO USE MY LEGALLY-PURCHASED MEDIA AS I SEE FIT. We get that you don't like that, we get that you're puppets for the media corporations (who have ALREADY raped everyone for every dime they can, from the artists, producers, consumers, even the damn government, in the form of taxes not paid), so please go slinking back to your masters, lick their feet and tell them we have flipped you all a really big shit-covered middle finger, a nice FUCK YOU, because we are tired of you stomping our rights for your profits.
It ends now. Don't like it? MOVE. I hear Iran would love you kind of people.
Check out my post above, where I've expressed my own concern, because my ISP, in it's extreme "wisdom", has laid me wide open with a modem that I cannot change the login info.
My money says that people with a situation like mine will be the very first to get spoofed, and receive bogus "six-strike warnings". :tard:s
And I'll bet a few of these AC's that keep calling us privacy advocates "pirates", will be the pawns ISPs/MAFIAA use to falsely accuse millions of people, in the name of "stopping piracy".

Tell me, you enjoy swallowing corporate penis? Apparently so, I'm waiting to hear how their "creamy white filling" tastes to you.
